The Corn Crib at Frank Lloyd Wright’s Taliesin

Ever seen the Corn Crib at Frank Lloyd Wright’s Taliesin? Making my annual pilgrimage out to @taliesinwi next week and I couldn’t be more excited. I think this is my 13 summer out there. I got lots on the agenda, doing a presentation in the newly renovated Hillside theater, two photography workshops, and I’m taking some students to photograph the Seth Peterson cottage, the AD German warehouse, and the Kinney House.
But back to the Corn Crib and this is definitely not on any Taliesin tour. Here is some bts info and a photo I took last year. I hope you enjoy.
This space was initially used for storing and drying corn for the chickens, which occupied the row of rooms now called the West Wing, and the pigs who lived right next door. This was adapted into a living space by apprentice Charles Montooth. Charles graduated with a History degree from the University of Chicago before joining the Fellowship in 1945. He was an instrumental member of Taliesin Architects after Wright’s death and married Minerva Montooth in 1952.
